Simulated time period (RRP run)

An order simulation (RRP run) is always carried out for a particular time period. The simulated time period is limited by a number of factors:

  • The start date and end date of the scenario, defined in the Scenarios (cprpd4100m000) session.
  • The time fence and the order horizon of the item, defined in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session.

  • Firm-planned orders

    A firm-planned order serves as a sort of additional time fence: LN does not generate planned orders before the last firm-planned order. If necessary, LN generates reschedule-in messages. However, you can override this rule by selecting the Planned Order before Firm/Actual check box in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session.

  • Simulate in time fence

    If you select the Generate within check box, the time fence is ignored and the simulation can start at the current date.

  • Net-change simulation

    If you select the Run a Net Change Planning check box, the simulation does not start before the net-change date (see Net-change simulations).

Note: 

LN determines the end date and time for the simulated time period with the following formula:

End point = current date + order horizon - 1 second
